Re: Backup over the internet.
As I understand it dump will not backup everything reading the Freebsd book. I have a 1.5Mbps connection. Files seems to be about 3.1 Gigs each on 4 different machines . I have a freebsd box with extra 12 Gigs of space that I can save to. I would like to save to a cd writer on the same machine it is a Liton CDRW but that other task getting it running to copy. I think if I had a choice I would have my installation on a cd for the ports and freebsd I need. Then save the data only. Dan Matthew Seaman wrote: On Tue, Jul 15, 2003 at 09:08:15AM +, DanB wrote: What is the easy way to back up over the internet? What software should be used? That's a rather vague question, which makes it pretty hard to give a sensible answer, I'm afraid. Ease is a very subjective thing. There's certainly many more than one way of achieving such tasks, many of which seem about equally easy to me. Pretty much every Unix utility ever designed to copy the contents of a filesystem onto a tape drive has the capability to access a remote tape. Even more: any utility capable of copying files from one machine to another could be considered usable for backup purposes. Generally copying the files from machine to machine is only half the problem. Setting up a backup schedule, making the backups run automatically and unattended, testing that your backups are actually fit for purpose (it's amazing how many people have only found out that their tape drive had malfunctioned and wasn't writing anything on the tapes at the point of trying to recover a crashed system...) etc. etc. All need to be considered. I can certainly point you at some manual pages for some commonly used software. See: dump(8) tar(1) scp(1) rsync(1) [ports: net/rsync, http://rsync.samba.org/] amanda [ports: misc/amanda-server, misc/amanda-client http://sourceforge.net/projects/amanda/] See also the SSH FAQ on how to set up ssh(1) (which all of dump(1), scp(1) and rsync(1) run on top of) to do unattended logins: http://www.snailbook.com/faq/no-passphrase.auto.html Perhaps you would like to restate your question with a lot more detail about exactly what you want to do and what your constraints are. Such things as: how much data you have to backup; bandwidth limitations between your server and where you're backing it up to; what sort of device you're writing to; security requirements -- can the data be transmitted across the internet in plaintext, or does it have to be encrypted? Can it be stored on the backup medium unencrypted? How can you authenticate yourself to the backup server?

Re: Downloading FreeBSD 4.7
I have downloaded 4.8ISo and the md5 check sum. Where is the program md5 located? Can it run onan Window 98 machine to check the check sum number? Dan Jerry McAllister wrote: Thanks for your help. I was able to get in. Will you be able to tell me how to get the complete install CD downloaded. I tried to look around but could not find any place to download the whole install CD from the web. First, something you can do to help make your messages more useful and make it easier for many of us to respond: Please break your lines at around 72 characters. Some Email readers can be configured to do that. If yours cannot, then please hit a RETURN/ENTER (however yours is labeled) at around 70 or characters to start a new line. Now, I never use the web interface to get the ISO-s. I just go in with ftp to ftp.freebsd.org. But, the location will be the same. When you get in, you need to cd to pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/4.8 (It is recommended that you start with V-4.8 and not any of the V-5.X) In that directory will see 3 ISO files and one CHECKSUM.MD5 file. Download the file called 4.8-RELEASE-i386-mini-iso Make sure you are using a binary transfer for that file. If you are using regular ftp, type the command 'binary' minus the quotes. Then, you can also download the file called CHECKSUM.MD5. If you are doing the ftp from a Microsloth system, then that file should be downloaded in ASCII text mode (type 'ascii' while in ftp) because it is just a text file with the MD5 checksum numbers to use to verify a good download. If you accidently download the checksum file in binary it is no big problem. It will just have extra CR-s in it. But, you mush download the ISO in binary mode or it will be junk. If you are where you can run md5 on the ownloaded ISO, then do it and compare the number it gives with the one for that file in the checksum file. If they are the same the ISO download should be good. Then, burn the ISO directly as is on to a CD. If you are using the whole disk for FreeBSD, you can just proceed. If you are trying to dual boot it with Win-something or Linux along with the FreeBSD, then you will have to slice the drive. If it already has the Win-something on it, the easiest thing is to use a program that will shrink the Win slice and make room for a FreeBSD slice. I have successfully used a utility called Partition Magic. It is available for around $50 in most electronics mass market stores like Best Buy, etc. There are freeware ones, but generally they don't work for XP and NTFS type file systems, but do just fine with old FAT stuff with Win95-98, etc. Although you will see lots of warnings about boot sectors needing to be in no higher than a certain cylinder on the disk, most modern BIOSes don't have that problem. But, if you get things all installed and it won't boot because it can't find your bootable filesystem, then you may have to rethink your disk divisions and put a smaller MS-Win slice low, then a FreeBSD slice and then the rest of the space for the remainder of your MS stuff, or something. If you enjoy juggling such thing, you will be in paradise, but I prefer to just have a more current BIOS. Some systems have downloadable upgrades available that will fix the problem. This is all below the FreeBSd level and must be decided and fixed before installing FreeBSD. Of course, the easiest thing is to just blow off the MS-Win stuff and make the whole machine a FreeBSD machine. Then, there is no problem. Just make one FreeBSD slice covering the whole disk. You can do all that during install and choose to make it bootable, etc. When you get your disk use issues all settled Pop the CD in to the machine where you want to install FreeBSD and boot it off the CD. You may have to tinker with the BIOS boot order to get it to boot from the CD. It must have the CD before the hard disk in the boot order list. The mini-iso disk is the only one you really need. It has the entire installation stuff and knows how to get the rest via ftp.After you finish doing the config stuff and carve up the disk, you just select installing via FTP and it will download everything you ever need and want. Of course, if you have a slow connection, it will take a while, but not really any longer than downloading those other two ISO-s. If your connection is too slow to install over, then you should just buy the CD set from BSD Mall or one ot the other contributing vendors that package a CD set and sell them for a nonimal cost and contribute a bit of the revenue to the FreeBSD foundation. jerry Any help is highly appreciated.
